Armstrong A+ System Assembly, Disassembly, Tips & Tricks with Armie Armstrong

Setting up your foil correctly and maintaining it properly are crucial for both performance and longevity. In this video, Armie Armstrong shares valuable tips and tricks he uses daily to ensure his foil is in top condition. From proper assembly to torque settings and screw care, these guidelines will help you get the most out of your foil and avoid common problems.

Here are the key takeaways for setting up and maintaining your foil:

• Fuselage Seating: Tap the fuselage firmly into the mast until you hear a solid click to ensure it's properly seated.
• Electric Drills: Use with Caution: If using an electric drill, set it to the lowest torque setting and always finish tightening with a hand tool.
• Regular Screw Checks:  Before each session, quickly check all screws to ensure they are snug.
• Cleaning and Sand: If using your foil in sandy conditions, disassemble and wash it periodically to prevent sand from getting trapped between the mast and fuselage.
• Screw Replacement: Replace worn screws early to prevent breakage. Carry spare screws, especially when traveling.
• Screw Fatigue: Over-torquing screws can cause metal fatigue and lead to breakage.
